Even within the Saudi royal family there is the first criticism of the Yemen war, says correspondent Marcel van der Steen … “A brother of the king, Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, has said that not the whole royal family is responsible for the war, pointing to crown prince Bin Salman.” Bin Salman is the actual ruler of the country.

The humanitarian situation in Yemen is alarming. According to UNICEF, a child dies every ten minutes due to hunger or illness. 1.8 million children are malnourished, 400,000 of which are so severe that it is life-threatening. There is a threat of famine for millions of people, the UN warns.

The 7-year-old Amal Hussain is seen as a symbol for the poignant situation. A photo of the emaciated girl was in The New York Times. “She died in a refugee camp yesterday”, reported the correspondent today.

“She had to leave the hospital because new patients came in. But the family did not have the money to go to the new hospital, 24 kilometers away, so the 7-year-old girl did not make it.”

Amal Hussain, 7, put a human face on Yemen's man-made crisis. I'm sorry to say that she has died. "My heart is broken," her mother told us. So are many others. https://t.co/5tGKzms720
